We interrupt your daily scoop with some very im-paw-tent news: corgis are now certified by ESPN as prominent players in the world of sports.
After broadcasting Major League Soccer on Saturday afternoon, the network pulled the unexpected by airing corgi racing via its main channel. Evidently, the decision has left the hearts of animal lovers aflutter.

The 2021 Corgi Races, which took place at Emerald Downs in Auburn on July 25, saw 70 pooches, in their respective bandanas, gunning to the finish line and proving that their short legs could take them far.
It concluded with Angus, the winner of 2019’s Corgi Races, as the top dog, surprisingly overtaking Chance. Tom Harris, the announcer, declared it a “very exciting race.”
Viewers are now relieved that they’re “still paying for cable.”
